see more
Neuroscience is a comprehensive lecture and laboratory course that provides an integrated multidisciplinary study of the structure and functional relationships of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Essential to a proper understanding of Neurosciences is the ability to classify, correlate, associate and link the various entities and modules, much the same way as normal human cognition works in real life. This subject assumes basic knowledge of anatomy of Head and Cranial nerves. The syllabus is divided into easily understandable modules based on Snell's chapter, supplemented by Board Review Series. Neurobiology and neurophysiology, brain metabolism, and the effects of damage and disease on cells of the central nervous system are covered in detail in the initial part of the course. Students are also introduced to techniques of neuro-imaging and taught introductory clinical assessment during this time. Thereafter the entire central nervous system, from spinal cord upwards to the cerebral cortex, is covered in minute detail. Each component of CNS is subdivided into two parts; the normal concepts and the pertinent clinical correlations. Knowledge is imparted by comprehensive techniques that utilize visual, verbal, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles of individuals. Learning is enhanced through laboratory gross brain dissection, imaging techniques and discussion of clinical correlations. Research skills are honed by subjecting students to a small project work, which they have to present towards the end of the course.

Triton Digital Webcast Metrics Local Achieves Media Rating Council Accreditation
Los Angeles - Mar 4, 2014 - The Media Rating Council (MRC) has granted accreditation to the Triton Digital Webcast Metrics Local (WCML) product. WCML is a market-specific version similar to Triton's MRC-accredited national measurement product. For the first time, this rigorous audit contains a publisher component where each WCML publisher must undergo a separate audit of their user-declared geographic and demographic listener data. As the first customer using the solution, Pandora has completed the publisher audit and has been successfully integrated into WCML. Additional publishers are currently in the pipeline.
The market-specific research from Triton's Webcast Metrics Local solution enables agencies and advertisers to evaluate relative audience scale within specific markets. Traditional audio metrics, average quarter hour (AQH), AQH rating, cume and cume rating are presented so that ad buyers can evaluate the entire audio marketplace with the same set of metrics. Publishers leverage the system to monetize content on a local level.

Greg Jarboe | April 28, 2014 | Comments
In honor of YouTube's birthday, ClickZ reviews its past nine years as a powerful online video platform.
Depending on how you define when a company is "born," YouTube is on the brink of the verge of the edge of celebrating its ninth birthday. It's amazing to think that no one in the industry has "10 years of YouTube marketing experience."
As Chris Tryhorn of guardian.co.uk observed on August 29, 2008, "You know how it is with technology — once something becomes so ubiquitous and so universally used, it is simply impossible to imagine life without it."
Embedded in his article "Life Before YouTube" is a funny video by Matt Koval entitled, "The Making of YouTube" which is only three minutes and 36 seconds long.
YouTube was founded in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. According to Jim Hopkins of USA Today (Oct. 11, 2006), the idea for what became YouTube sprang from two very different events in 2004: Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show and the great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, also known as the Asian Tsunami or Boxing Day Tsunami. In February 2005, it was difficult to find and share online videos of either event.
At a San Francisco dinner party, Karim proposed to Hurley and Chen that they create a video-sharing site. "I thought it was a good idea," Karim told Hopkins.
Within a few days, the three agreed to develop the idea and then divided work based on their skills: Hurley designed the site's interface, while Chen and Karim split the technical duties for making the site work. It's worth noting that none of the three had strengths or interests in marketing.
The first video on YouTube was shot by Yakov Lapitsky and features Karim at the San Diego Zoo. "Me at the Zoo" is only 18 seconds long. That video was uploaded on Saturday, April 23, 2005, at 8:27 p.m. At that time, YouTube's headquarters was above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California.
In front of the elephants, Karim says, "The cool thing about these guys today is that they have really, really, really long, um, trunks." An annotation added more than three years later asks, "Can you hear the goat? MEEEEEEEEEEEH!"
As of today, "Me at the Zoo" has more than 14.6 million views.
Why is this ordinary moment so extraordinary? In spite of what Karim says, it's not the elephants or their trunks. And despite the annotation, it's not the goat.
That's why the real story is what happened next. And it's only in hindsight that we can see why YouTube went on to become the world's most popular online video community.
The beta launch of YouTube took place in May 2005 and the video sharing site was officially launched in December 2005. The rest, as they say, is history.
Now, YouTube didn't "git thar fustest with the mostest." And it didn't attempt to be a "fast follower."
YouTube began as a personal video sharing service, not as yet another video search engine. This strategy is called "hit 'em where they ain't." It enabled YouTube to emerge from relative obscurity shortly after December 17, 2005, when a video entitled "Lazy Sunday" — which was a copy of the Saturday Night Live skit "The Chronicles of Narnia Rap" — was uploaded to the video-sharing site.
On December 27, Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times reported that "Lazy Sunday" had already been viewed more than 1.2 million times. The next day, LeeAnn Prescott, who was the research director at Hitwise at the time, posted her analysis of the hot video of the past week on her Hitwise Intelligence Analyst Weblog. Visits to YouTube, where people could discover, watch, and share "The Chronicles of Narnia Rap," shot up 83 percent in one week — and surpassed visits to Google Video.
Since then, YouTube has fundamentally changed the video industry and democratized mainstream media. It provides everyone the opportunity to contribute to the global exchange of ideas and offer ways for content creators and advertisers to build, grow and interact with audiences.
Considering all this, when would you choose to celebrate YouTube's ninth birthday? Well, YouTubers have traditionally chosen May and that's when you can expect this year's celebration. Although it's always hard to know what to expect next from a site with powerful effects which reach far beyond water cooler chitchat about the latest meme.

Oh, there is a lot of things to watch the series:
- The compannions (AGAIN ¬_¬)
- The Pokémon (Duh, it´s on the name)
- The compannions (If I wasn´t clear enough)
- To see the region animated
- The compannions (Just to make this point straight)
- The Gym Leaders
- The compannions (Did I mentioned it yet?)
- The battles
- The compannions (Because the compannions rules)
- The evil team
- And the compannions
Technically, Ash doesn´t fight, his Pokémon fights, one of the reasons that I stated a while ago ... along with the companions
Dawn was meh, I got an infraction for bashing St. Brock so I won´t say anything, I don´t hate Sinnoh: The region, I hate Sinnoh: The cheap soap opera.
Can I ask you the same question?, all you do is complain about Best Wishes and it´s obvious you´re not enjoying the series, then why continue watching ?
It wouldn´t kill you saying it more often (¬_¬).
And that´s one of the main things that I stopped caring about Ash and cared about his companions a long time ago, he is in an endless loop where at least 2 of his Pokémon get screwed, so I just watch the battle and enjoy the fireworks when the fandom makes their tantrum when *insert regional powerhouse here* takes spotlight away from *insert regional Kingler here*
Misinterpreting my posts is not your fault, negative repping me, and getting very sensitive about my posts because you misinterpreted my posts however is your fault. Think really hard, before negative repping or making a big deal about my posts. I don't appreciate being negative repped for reasons that are a result of misinterpreting my posts.
The ratings have been going down since the first series, it will probably go down once again in the next series.
Never thought about an evolution or a new move here ?

This is the episode where Team Rocket 'blasts off' correct? If so, then it's probably only Pikachu like you said Ace. I would think there would be another Pokemon battling against Team Rocket when Pikachu get captured other than just Unfezant.
Well, we never know. Trip's snivy knew leaf tornado. But, yeah, it doesn't matter it all. Except if Nonomi turning into some recurring character to be in some "final Don tournament" at the end of episode N, just for the sake to let Ash wins something...
Why the hell does anybody even care about Tepig lol?? Not like she's staying with the group or anything.

Zero balance bank accounts to be opened
General purpose credit cards to be issued by March
Banks to extend credit basing on repaying capacity
Kakinada: Under the financial inclusion scheme, all households in the district will have bank accounts opened by December for meeting their credit needs, according to district Collector M. Subrahmanyam.
Addressing the district consultative committee of bankers here on Friday, he said several neglected sections that were hitherto excluded from financial services of formal financial institutions would now be brought into the fold.
People living in remote rural, tribal areas, semi-urban areas, urban slums, people in lower segments, tenant farmers, marginal farmers with smallholdings, SC, ST and minority people with little means would now have access to banking facilities.
The Collector said that after detailed survey of the households, zero balance bank accounts would be opened and later general purpose credit cards would be issued.
Basing on their requirements, credit facility would be extended to the households through these cards, subject to the fixed ceiling that is decided depending upon their repaying capacity. The Collector said that issuing of cards would have to be completed by March.
Lead Bank Manager A. Shanmukhachary said the basic objective of financial inclusion was to bring people out of non-institutional framework and help them fight poverty.
Andhra Bank DGM Y. Prasad said that banks would be judicious in extending credit .

Your Truth in Fiction
Date - Sunday Nov 2 10 a.m to 3 p.m
Venue - Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, Temecula
Cost - $90
In this one day workshop we'll l explore the alchemical process of taking the 'stuff' of one's life and weaving it into fiction. We all have truths we've discovered, some of them deeply personal and private. The art of fashioning them into stories offers skittish writers a veil, a way of telling the truth with a twist. How far does one go with the art of "making it up?" Through exercises you'll play with gender, with age, with setting - all the while exploring the emotional dynamic at the heart of the story you want to tell. This workshop is open to writers of all levels of experience and will be limited to 12 participants.
Here's a quote from Virginia Woolf to whet your appetite for your foray into fiction.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps,but still attached to life at all four corners.

Payment Registration for Program Participants
Individuals who participate in programs with payment reimbursements must be registered in the State's accounting system in order to receive payments.
These programs may include, but are not limited to:
- Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
- Competitive Skills Scholarship (CSSP)
- National Emergency Grant (NEG)
- Trade Adjustment Assistance
Each individual that receives any type of payment from the State of Maine is referred to as a "vendor," whether they are a business who provides a service or an individual who is submitting a reimbursement claim.
The State of Maine Division of Purchases utilizes a Vendor Self Service portal which allows vendors (or individuals) to register and update their own accounts in the system. Since this system has many features that are geared toward businesses, the Bureau of Employment Services has developed an instruction document to assist individual program participants in navigating the system.
Instructions for first-time registrations or updates (15 pages - 1.5MB -PDF)
These instructions are for individuals to either update their registration information or complete a first-time registration. First-time registrations are for individuals that have never received a payment from the State of Maine. Updates can include changes in address or phone number.
The following documents on this page are available for download in either "PDF", Microsoft "Word" or Microsoft "Excel" formats. You will need either the free Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word or free Microsoft Word Reader, Microsoft Excel or free Excel Viewer to view and print them.

Port Clinton, Ohio - Things have taken a turn for previous NRA High Power leader Carl Bernosky. As results for the Coast Artillery Trophy Match roll in, it appears that his score of 199-12x will put him a few steps behind the competition. That left the door open for John Friguglietti, who fired an excellent 300 yard prone, rapid fire effort to finish with a top score of 200-17x. Howell and Zerr finished second and third with 15 and 14 Xs respectively. Former High Power champ Tubb remains strong by placing fourth.
As always, these are preliminary scores as the NRA Stat office pushes through the challenge period when all becomes final.

My guineas roost in my barn at night and free range during the day. The females return to the barn to lay their eggs behind my stack of hay. Every egg that is gets laid disappears. I am sure it is the magpies and/or crows that fly in and out of my barn. I had a problem last year, but my guineas were able to lay enough eggs in an area I set up to discourage the poachers. But, this year they are even bolder and the eggs are gone as soon as they are laid. I know it is not my dogs, because the eggs disappear in the morning before my dogs are even out or the main doors opened. I even thought it could be a rat, but I have never seen one and I am sure my dogs would smell it around. I have tried to set up private places for the guineas, but they are pretty shy about nesting in a "box" type of enclosure because I think they feel trapped. My barn is open during the day to keep the air moving and fresh.
Any thoughts on how to discourage the big poachers (without shooting involved)? Bonnie |

Corvids are pretty darned clever...but you might try leaving a radio on & tuned to a talk radio station in your barn. Maybe the sound of human voices will help keep them out. If you really want to find out who or what is stealing the eggs (I assume there is no 'broken egg' evidence left behind?), set up a camera or video recorder aimed at the nesting area. Velvet ~:> |

Can you leave the dogs in the barn to scare the birds? |
- Posted by aleksandras 7 NC (My Page) on Thu, May 22, 08 at 15:39
You can take the eggs as soon as they are laid and return them when she is ready to incubate. Also, you can build a shelter around the nest. |
- Posted by oberhasli1 Colorado (My Page) on Thu, May 22, 08 at 19:19
I have tried building a shelter around the nest, but the magipies just walk right in. The magpies will be nesting soon and won't be around quite as much. I will try to gather an egg or two here and there until I have about 20 and then see if she will sit on them. Last year, I had one female that decided to sit on them and then the other two females joined in. |
You're sure it's not a snake or possum? |
- Posted by oberhasli1 Colorado (My Page) on Sun, May 25, 08 at 1:04
I'm pretty sure its neither of those. We don't have possums here at all, and we have very few snakes. I have only seen a small garter snake years ago. We are at a pretty high altitude here, which discourages a lot of snakes. |

Now it's the women's turn.
Kevin Livingston, a bank employee and community advocate, who recently collected business attire for gang members as part of his 100 Suits for 100 Men program, has now set his sights on the female residents of Southeast Queens.
He calls his new initiative, what else — 100 Suits for 100 Women — and instead of gang members, he will be helping battered women in shelters who need assistance in order to find employment.
"I'm not an organization," Livingston said at the June 20th Community Board 12 meeting. "I don't have a 501(c)3. I'm not incorporated. This is something I'm doing from my pocket. I'm not here for applause."
As with his initial project, launched in December, the program will provide outreach and job training as well as clothes. It will include resume-writing assistance and self-esteem classes and will culminate with a job fair.
Livingston, a business officer at Carver Federal Savings Bank in Jamaica, who admits to only having an eighth-grade education but has achieved success through hard work and dedication, has been trying to generate interest in his programs by speaking about them at several Community Board 12 meetings.
"I wish I had more support from the community," Livingston said. "I need people that are honest and real and really want to help me get these kids off these streets."
Livingston, 33, planned to hand out 70 suits from his first venture to people turning in weapons at the gun buyback program last Saturday at St. Benedict the Moor Church in Jamaica [see separate story] and the remaining 30 will go to members of the Bloods street gang at the South Jamaica Houses.
"It's been an uphill battle to get brothers to change when they are used to living a certain way," Livingston said. "It hasn't been easy, but I'm very passionate about this."
And he's not just doing suit drives and job outreach.
On Monday, Livingston and some volunteers were to take 35 recent high school graduates to a live taping of the television show "106 and Park" where they were to hang out with the son of Sean "P. Ditty" Combs, a trip made possible with the help of City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans).
The dropoff locations for the suit drive are the Sean Elijah Bell Community Center at 107-52 Sutphin Blvd. in Jamaica and Marvelous Cuts at 132-08 111 Ave., also in Jamaica. For more information, contact Livingston at (347) 472-2519.

One of the great things about Lord of the Rings Online is how committed Turbine are to providing free content. They've added two new land masses, many new quests and innumerable polishes. So what can the game's first proper expansion pack do to justify its greater-than-zero price?
The name should be enough for most fans: Mines of Moria. If you haven't heard of them, you're playing the wrong game. Seriously, bugger off and play Guild Wars, your kind ain't welcome. Here be the Balrog - and not the guy from Street Fighter.
The Epic Quests have always been the spine of LOTRO: story-driven adventures that run parallel to Frodo & Co's journey (and are now narrated by Galadriel rather than Gandalf, who is voiced by an actress who sounds in no way like an impressionist doing Cate Blanchett). What a shame then that the first missions of MOM consist of killing a few crows and delivering some packed lunches. Fortunately it gets better fast.
Past the slightly drab Eregion lie the Walls of Moria, with an expedition of dwarves looking to reopen the Mines and find out what happened to Balin's party. They're working to unblock the Hollin Gate (which Tolkien fans will be happy to hear only glows in moonlight), and have many missions to give you in the mean time. Once you venture into Moria though, there's no going back.
An attack by the Watcher later (and some hasty cries of "run away!") our character got something new: a legendary item. These weapons can be levelled up, and indeed before entering Moria you have to get this weapon to level 10.
Fortunately this didn't take long, and soon I was facing the Watcher again, determined to send him back into the abyss. The proper battle against him was far less exciting than its first surprise attack, and consisted of a few tentacles that disappointingly waved about. For a battle with such a build-up this was quite an anticlimax.
Venturing in through the now open Gate, the first word out of my mouth upon seeing Moria was "wow". No, I don't mean World of Warcraft, I mean the good kind of "wow". Moria is a truly impressive place. Detailed pillars, huge statues, vast areas, high stairs... and that's just the entrance hall. Things only get more impressive as you go in. I honestly thought it was better than the version in Peter Jackson's film.
Getting through the long dark realm of Moria takes hours and hours of gaming, not to mention going up a few levels now that the level cap has been raised to 60. "Bugger that," I thought, "I want to see Lothlorien." Taking the Steve Hill approach, I just legged it from every single enemy and made my way with barely a passing glance at the wondrous architecture. It took me bloody ages, but with some really determined cowardice I made it.
Lothlorien, once reached, is actually something of a disappointment. Its few trees and tiny population pale in comparison to the grandeur of the Mines. Turbine, quite rightly, have concentrated their efforts on the titular location. And it shows. With my speed-expedition curtailed, I explored the two new classes, the Warden and the somewhat controversial Rune-Keeper.
The Rune-Keeper makes use of an 'Attunement Bar', which means the more you use your Offensive powers in a round, the easier to use they become, with Defensive powers becoming harder to use, and vice-versa. These abilities have caused no end of distress among the fans, as Tolkien only ever granted Gandalf and his kin magic.
The Warden, on the other hand, is another tank class but gets extra unique powers by mixing up certain other moves. Both new classes are a lot of fun, but only time will tell if they'll fit (or at least be accepted) into an already well-balanced game.
The only problem with Mines of Moria is the current lack of players at the moment. Granted, the thing's just getting going, and in time the areas will fill with adventurers. When it gets released and the players flood in to explore Moria, we'll bring you our final verdict. For now, these mines are rich with new content: a must for subscribers.

Impressive how easy to use this beacon is, especially for multiple burials. I've been using the Tracker for the past 8 years and it was good and I was very capable with it on single burials, however not very good on multiples.
I'm not any faster with the S1 because it requires the user to move more slowly. It will give you the "stop" sign if you move too fast, which is annoying at first, but you get accustomed to it. The beacon really shines on multiples. Easy to view on the screen, then flag and move on to the next.
There are other features aren't all that useful. It is nice to be able to check other peoples beacons to see if they are functioning properly.

Butterfield voters to decide on tax increase for land buy
Voters will decide in November whether to fund the purchase of land in unincorporated areas near Glen Ellyn and Lombard, a move the Butterfield Park District is pursuing to keep developers from building a gas station on the site.
The district's Board of Commissioners voted on Thursday to place the referendum question on the ballot for the Nov. 4 election.
It will ask voters for nearly $3 million to buy and maintain the land on the northeast corner of Butterfield Road and Illinois 53. About $2 million of that would be used for the purchase and to clean up the property. The district also wants to develop open space, improve trails and outdoor gardens and recreation areas.
"Our Board is committed to preserve and improve the quality of life in the District, but we need to know that this is what our community wants," said Michael Kryger, president of the Butterfield Park District Board of Commissioners, in a statement. "My neighbors have asked me for years if there was any way we could acquire this property for public use, and now we have the opportunity to preserve it for future generations."
The land has been the site of a contentious debate between developers and landowners who wanted to build a gas station and convenience store there and opponents who cited health concerns for nearby residents and children attending programming at the park district.
The Conservation Foundation based in Naperville, a private nonprofit, later agreed to purchase and hold the land to give the park district time to figure out how it will raise the money needed to buy it.
The park district has surveyed residents and is optimistic that the community will support the referendum, Executive Director Larry Reiner said Friday.
If voters do not pass the measure, the Conservation Foundation may put the property back up for sale to a commercial entity.
"They can't keep it on their books," Reiner said, of the $1.5 million purchase.
For every month that the park district does not purchase the property, it pays $6,000 to the foundation for the cost of holding the land.
Money from the referendum will also help the small park district apply for matching state and federal grants to pay for improvements in the area.
If the referendum is approved, it would add $4.55 a month for property owners of homes valued at $200,000, park officials said.
The park district will hold the first of several public information meetings on Aug. 21. It will start at 7 p.m. at the district's administrative office, 21W730 Butterfield Road.

Countermeasures Training Module |
See Where This Training Module Fits Into Our 35 Class Catalog |
One of a leader's functions is to set goals for his or her organization, and then make sure that the team stays on track in meeting those objectives.
But the adjustments needed to stay the course don't happen by accident. One structured approach to closing the gaps between reality and plan is to use a countermeasure. Think of it as 'A3 Lite', but with a specific purpose: to get a KPI or other metric back on track.
One of the unique features of this tool is the 'countermeasure accounting' it uses to compare the action plan to the miss, and ensure that there is enough being done to get back on target.
Countermeasures work best when there is a systematic leadership system in place, including annual strategic planning with policy deployment, well-defined KPIs, and monthly operations reviews

Cox Hallett Wilkinson
After a particularly difficult 2012, Bermuda's Cox Hallett Wilkinson bounced back in 2013, with revenue rising 15 per cent. Corporate turnover was up by 16 per cent and litigation up by 12 per cent, according to the firm.
Major transactions included the secondary offering of Norwegian Cruise Line shares listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, valued at $1.5bn. The firm is also advising South American oil and gas company GeoPark on its delisting from London's AIM market and upcoming IPO on the New York Stock Exchange.
While the firm's partner headcount of five was unchanged, it added two lawyers to its roster during the year. Cox Hallett Wilkinson has a two-pronged strategy of developing young Bermudian lawyers and recruiting from other firms on the island.
Otherwise, 2013 proved to be fairly stable, with no significant changes in strategy or major investments.
The firm is continuing to consider strategic alliances with firms in other jurisdictions but has not yet made the move.

Special Blend Beacon Jacket - Men's
This jackets 'Special'
I was looking for a lightweight and steezy jacket for this year seeing as I always get hot no matter how cold it is and this jacket delivered for me. I've been a special blend addict since my first pair of annex pants last year and in my opinion they make some of the best clothing out there, reasonable price and the shit is baggy as hell which is good cos i'm a tall drink of water. Dope colors this year, I got the tan three peat and paired it with a pair of annex pants in southbeach and it looks sick as hell in my opinion, cheap and nasty thats how I like em, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Babolat continues its traditional box beam construction with a name from the archives: Pure Control. Those who appreciate the phenomenal precision of the Pure Storm GT should be right at home with this update, especially if they're looking for a lighter (and faster!) feel. Featuring a new material called Flex Carbon, the Pure Control adds a softer more pliable response to the graphite/tungsten layup. The overall result is a racquet that plays sufficiently crisp but still manages to deliver buttery comfort and good shock absorption. From the baseline this one swings faster than its predecessor, a fact which should enable aggressive topspin players to crank up the spin. The speedy feel also helps at net where the Pure Control is great on heated exchanges or smashing floaters. It also has decent stability for its weight class (sub 11 ounces). As for serving, the maneuverability shines yet again, making it easier for the player to increase swing speed in the service of pace and spin. All in all, the Pure Control delivers the precision and classic feel of a player's racquet in a light and spin friendly package. This a great option for intermediates looking to transition to a control racquet, and it's also ideal for the advanced player who wants a light option or a great platform for weight customization.

Woman Arrested After Calling Cops Over Marijuana Quality
Woman Arrested After Calling Cops Over Marijuana Quality
LUFKIN, Texas Police in East Texas have arrested a woman after she called them to complain about the quality of the marijuana she had purchased from a dealer.
Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper said Monday that an officer went to the home of 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton to hear her complaint that the dealer refused to return her money after she objected that the drug was substandard.
Casper says she pulled the small amount of marijuana from her bra when the officer asked if she still had it.
She was arrested Friday on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hamilton said Monday she spent $40 on "seeds and residue." She says she called police when she got no satisfaction from the dealer's family.

I noticed since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 that the default Jack server is
jackdmp (v.1.9.8). Please correct me if I am wrong but my understanding this
is the smp-enabled version 2 that is being developed in parallel with 1.x
series of regular jack.Either way, one of my concerns is that while in the old jack when one
accidentally pulled the soundcard jack was trying to talk to (e.g. a USB
soundcard), the jack would gracefully stop. The new version (and this could
be Ubuntu quirk) instead of stopping is pegged in some kind of a spinlock
that often times locks up the machine (this may be in part since I am
running a lowlatency kernel with audio group given priority) and at times
keeps it operational while hogging the cpu and making the computer barely
responsive until jackd is killed. Apps connected to jack that I tested so
far are also stuck in a loop waiting for a response from jack (although this
could be the app's shortcoming)--jack never broadcasts a signal that it has
lost the soundcard (AFAICT). FWIW I am running jackdmp through qjackctl...Any thoughts on this matter would be most appreciated.

Cap SA (CAP), Chile's largest iron-ore miner, touched the highest in seven weeks on a recovery of prices in China for the raw material used to produce steel.
Cap advanced 3.5 percent to 16,620 pesos at 3:51 p.m. in Santiago after touching 16,650, the highest intraday level since Nov. 12. It was the best performer on the benchmark Ipsa index, which rose 0.6 percent. The Santiago-based company is also the country's biggest steel producer.
"It's all about iron-ore prices today," Jose Manuel Edwards, an analyst at Santiago-based brokerage IM Trust SA, said in a telephone interview. "Iron mining now accounts for most of Cap's gross profit as steel margins have fallen and iron prices have been recovering."
The price of imported iron ore in the Chinese port of Tianjin has increased 25 percent in the past month to $144.90 a dry ton, according to The Steel Index Ltd. It fell to $86.70 on Sept. 5, the lowest since October 2009.
While iron-ore mining represented 53 percent of Cap's revenue in the third quarter of 2012, with steel production at 44 percent, mining of iron ore accounted for 86 percent of gross profit versus 4 percent for steel, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Cap has gained 14 percent since reaching 14,560 pesos on Dec. 10, its lowest price in a year.

Hmm, instant death and teleportation vs super strength and speed....
Can we get some feats for the crying guy? I mean even at the beginning of the series Zoro was a monster, the guy was fighting fishman about as fast as Kuro and superhuman in strength and speed, he did this while injured too, previously he took a building level slash from Mihawk and was still alive. This is not including his amazing skill by the by.
I have been meaning to make a comeback, this seems like a good start, glad to see you are still here Haseo.
Name: Shitsumon
Age: 60 years old
Weight: 189 lbs
Height: 6'4
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Brown
Race: Mortalized clone
Orientation: New Mayor of New york
Shitsumon is still very muscular, much like his counterpart Newdeath, however now he is noticably aging, he has black but greying hair, and a thick mustach. Shitsumon has also gotten rid of his mask and cloak and now wears cobalt blue tactical pants with shiny black military boots. He also has a brown shirt, tight enough to show off his muscles. The most noticalbe differences to Shitsumon are his weapons and eyes, Shitsumon now weilds six katanas, and now only has one special eye that he keeps hidden with an eyepatch.
While Shitsumon was still not yet ready to take on Newdeath and gain the real Tsukasa eye, he still was not willing to be patient and wait for the right time to come, even though to his teamates at the Company thought he was a no good joker, Shitsumon decided to leave the Company without a word in search of a power even greater than Keith's, the creator itself. But how would a mere worm of a clone like Shitsumon get a hold of such a entity? SImple, he would break a sacred rule. Shitsumon would use th Fake Blue Realm and use his will to reach power equal to that of the almighty. Shitsumon quickly put this plan into motion, he activated the Fake Blue Realm and went inside, there he will his power to be equal to the all-father. "Yes, this will grab his attention-Huh!?" The moment Shitsumon willed for this power he did indeed get the attention of the one people would refer to as god, but not in the way he wanted, the entire Fake blue real started to shatter like glass, there was no sound, as Shitsumon looked around he felt intense pain in his eyes, they were desolving Shitsumon covered his left eye and quickly moved towards the exit of the Fake Blue Realm, his speed started to slow down, why was this happening? I was due to a higher being punishing Shitsumon by taking away his youth. In a quick act, Shitsumon summoned a portal using the last of his strength and jumped out of the Fake Blue Realm. For a few moments Shitsumon lay motionless on the ground, he slowly got up and struggled to keep his balance, he looked around, he was back in the forest where he ran to. "Gah! What the hell just happened?!" Shitsumon was dazed and in pain, still, he knew what had happened, he knew that the gods would never waste time with him, he got off lucky. Shitsumon managed to escape with the Omni-eye, he no longer had the fake Tsukasa eye nor Shinka's eye, not matter those could be replaced or at least reduplicated, the real trouble came in the form of not being able to re-summon the Fake Blue Realm. Shitsumon stumbled to a near-by pond and looked down into it, only to see his horrid reflection, he was now old and had only two eyes, one of them being the omni-eye the other normal. Shitsumon knew he had some power left but not a lot, the Omni-Eye would be all he needed at the moment, his strength, stamina and speed were still much above that of a normal mortal. Shitsumon may have lost his a lot of his power, his eyes and his immortality. But he still ahd enough, afterall he was born with nothing and made that work, what he has now is more than enough. Shitsumon ran through the forest, his speed clearly still enhanced, he ran through the first cabin window he saw, an elderly couple were startled as they both jumped back, Shitsumon went through the house searching for anything useful, it turns out this was the home of a old war vet, he went into his room to find his service uniform and swords he collected over the years, not Shitsumon's weapon of choice, but without Jutsu, and high class magic, he needed weapons, he could enhance the blades with spirit energy anyway. Shitsumon took only six blades and then went to the closet, there was his service uniform, Shitsumon took it out of the closet and set it on the bed, after taking off his old clothes he replaced them with the uniform. Just as Shitsumon was getting ready to leave he heard a loud BANG, he looked over, there was the old veteran holding a hunting rifle, he was shaking, his wife close behind him, Shitsumon smiled as he spoke in he deep clean voice "Well now, this will be a good test of what skill I have left." The old man took a step back "Come any closer and I shoot ya hear!?" Shitsumon took another step, and at that moment the gun fired, Shisumon saw the bullet come out in slow motion and could read the air around it and the trajectory due to his Omni-eye, before the bullet reach him he drew his blade, cut the bullet and the old man in half, and jumped downstairs and left the cabin, he could care less what happened to the old woman, now Shitsumon did need to find someone capable of speaking with the divine, or someoen good with magic to restore him.
Shitsumon can regenerate from any wound as long as it is not instantly fatal, however he has a limit, he cannot regenerate his Omni-eye, nor can he regenerate a limb unless there is a piece of it intact, he cannot regenerate from nothing, however Shitsumon can take the skin or surface from anything around him and add it to himself.
